A Kingsland Christmas
Hi Neighbours!
I'm helping The Fringe District put together a free family event in The Kingsland Rail Plaza on Saturday 26 November 4-7pm.
We are installing a 10 metre Christmas Tree to bring some outdoor festive vibes to our community. We have Santa and his elves on site from 4-7pm taking free family photos, free face painting, cheeky elves, tuk tuk rides. Be entertained by Santas helpers; The Madeleines Trio, and singalong with Suzy Cato!
We also have a $2000 raffle (sourced from local businesses). Tickets $5, drawn at 645pm in the Rail Plaza - must be on site at prize draw to take it all home with you :)
We thought it would be great to have Santa outdoors this year - so come on down to the Rail Plaza!
Hope to see you all there :) Claire
Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
